The collection is mainly comprised of black-and-white and hand-colored lantern slides derived from photographs taken between 1912 and 1937. It documents the Green Mountain Club’s building of original trails and shelters and illustrates the enthusiasm for the Long Trail project (and hiking in general) at the turn of the century. These images chronicle the views and landscapes seen by early hikers of the Long Trail and provide an historical record of people associated with the Green Mountain Club’s formative years.

The second group decided to construct an installation, inspired by the magic lantern and its ability to tell stories with light. The installation is called “wee kanten van een verhaal”- “Two Sides of the Story”. By means of coloured light projected from back and front, the story of Cinderella is told by making parts of the respective image visible. Depending on the color of light, different stories are told. The images used in the installation are inspired by the aesthetics of lantern slides. In this installation, the magic of magic lantern is translated into 21st century projection technology. Follow the making-of of the installation in on the project website Toverlantaarn Installatie – Twee kanten van een verhaal > http://toverlantaarninstallatie.blogspot.nl/ (in Dutch, but with videos and images that convey the idea also to those who are not so fluent in Dutch) One group decided to use magic lantern slides, digitized from the Consult the sites and collection of Utrecht University Museum and EYE Filmmuseum you will see slides in Netherlands for an animation film project, titles “Slide of Life”.The a way you probably story unfolds in the frame of the lantern slides and thus integrates the did not see them materiality of the object with the story of the image. “After seeing before! the beauty of thousands of old magic lantern slides, we believe these pictures need to be seen again.

    Deverberie Gilt Bronze Antique Mantel Clock “The Magic Lantern”, Empire period Case Attributed to Jean-Simon Deverberie (1764 - 1824) Paris, Empire period, circa 1800 Height 46 cm, width 24 cm, depth 13 cm An extremely fine gilt bronze mantle clock of eight-day duration, the white enamel dial with Roman and Arabic numerals and gilt bronze hands for the hours and minutes. The movement, with lever escapement and silk thread suspension, strikes the hour and half hour, with outside count wheel. The case, in the form of a magic lantern, has a beaded bezel and is decorated with blue enamel rosettes; it is surmounted by a flaming torch pierced with stars and hearts. The pendulum bob is formed as a butterfly. The magic lantern is carried on the back of a striding Cupid with enamel eyes who carries a quiver of arrows and a bow. He stands on an oval plinth, featuring a cast frieze with winged putti playing around a central vase, is raised on feathered eagle’s claw feet.

  • Phantasmagoria: Ghostly Entertainment of the Victorian Britain
    Phantasmagoria: Ghostly entertainment of the Victorian Britain Yurie Nakane / Tsuda College / Tokyo / Japan Abstract Phantasmagoria is an early projection show using an optical instrument called a magic lantern. Brought to Britain from France in 1801, it amused spectators by summoning the spirits of ab- sent people, including both the dead and the living. Its form gradually changed into educational amusement after it came to Britain. However, with the advent of spiritualism, its mysterious na- ture was re-discovered in the form of what was called ‘Pepper’s Ghost’. Phantasmagoria was reborn in Britain as a purely ghostly entertainment, dealing only with spirits of the dead, be- cause of the mixture of the two notions brought from France and the United States. This paper aims to shed light on the role that phantasmagoria played in Britain during the Victorian period, how it changed, and why. Through observing the transnational history of this particular form of entertainment, we can reveal a new relationship between the representations of science and superstitions. Keywords Phantasmagoria, spiritualism, spectacle, ghosts, the Victorian Britain, superstitions Introduction Humans have been mesmerized by lights since ancient times. Handling lights was considered a deed conspiring with magic or witchcraft until the sixteenth century, owing to its sanctified appearance; thus, some performers were put in danger of persecution. At that time, most people, including aristocrats, were not scientifically educated, because science itself was in an early stage of development. However, the flourishing thought of the Enlightenment in the eighteenth century altered the situation. Entering the age of reason, people gradually came to regard illusions as worthy of scientific examination.

God is One Om Shanti Mandiram Columbia MO 2001 The treasure was lost. We have regained it. This publication is not fully satisfactory. There is a tremendous scope for its improvement. Then why to publish it? The alternative was to let it get recycled. There is a popular saying in American academic circles: Publish or Perish. The only justification we have is to preserve the valuable contents for posterity. Yet it is one hundred times better than its original. We have devoted a great deal of our time, money, and energy to improve it. The entire work was recomposed on computer. Figures [pictures] were scanned and inserted. Diacritical marks were provided as far as possible. References to citations were given in certain cases. But when a vessel is already too dirty it is very difficult to clean it even in a dozen attempts. The original was an assemblage of scattered articles written by specialists in their own field. Some were extracted from publications already published. It was issued as a special number of a journal. It needed a competent editor. Even that too was not adequate unless the editor possessed sufficient knowledge of and full competence in all the subject areas covered. One way to make it correct and complete was to prepare a kind of draft and circulate it among all the writers, or among those who could critically examine a particular paper in their respective field.

  • Augmenting Reality: on the Shared History of Perceptual Illusion And
    Augmenting reality: On the shared history of perceptual illusion and video projection mapping Alvaro Pastor Computer Science, Multimedia and Telecommunications Department. Universitat Oberta de Catalunya. Barcelona, Spain. [email protected] Abstract Perceptual illusions based on the spatial correspondence between objects and displayed images have been pursued by artists and scientists since the 15th century, mastering optics to create crucial techniques as the linear perspective and devices as the Magic Lantern. Contemporary video projection mapping inherits and further extends this drive to produce perceptual illusions in space by incorporating the required real time capabilities for dynamically superposing the imaginary onto physical objects under fluid real world conditions. A critical milestone has been reached in the creation of the technical possibilities for all encompassing, untethered synthetic reality experiences available to the plain senses, where every surface may act as a screen and the relation to everyday objects is open to perceptual alterations. Introduction The advancement and popularization of computer technologies over the past three decades has had a significant effect not only on the way images are created, but also on the techniques and technologies which enable their presentation. One of the most popular emerging practices is video projection mapping, also referred as video mapping or 3D mapping, a terminology which stands for a set of imaging techniques in service of the spatially coherent projection of bi dimensional images onto physical three dimensional objects [1, 2]. Despite its seemingly novelty in its use in the fields of arXiv:2005.14317v1 [cs.MM] 28 May 2020 communication, advertising and visual arts in the recent years, the current practice of video projection mapping is the result of several centuries of development and perfecting of a vast set of techniques derived from optics and the sciences of human perception, as well as mathematical operations for image transformations, and the evolution projection devices.

  • Some Thoughts on the Bull's-Eye Magic Lantern
    NÜRNBERG AND THE BULL’S-EYE MAGIC LANTERN by Deac Rossell [Revised 1/2012. This is a revised and expanded version of an article first published in New Magic Lantern Journal, Vol. 9 No. 5 (Winter 2003), pp. 71-75, as “Some Thoughts on the Bull’s-Eye Magic Lantern”. All illustrations are gathered in a table at the end of the text.] In the past few years, I have traced eight surviving ‘Bull’s-Eye’ lanterns dated by their owners to about 1800 or before, lanterns now held in collections in five different countries. For the purpose of description in this article I have numbered them 1 through 8, as described below. I should say at the outset that I have not had the chance to examine all of the lanterns themselves, and therefore sometimes rely on their descriptions in catalogues and other reference sources. The existence of these lanterns poses a special problem for the lantern historian. With one exception, no other pre-1800 (or circa. 1800) lantern design survives in anything other than a unique example.1 These eight lanterns also represent roughly one-third of all the seventeenth- and eighteenth-century magic lanterns known to survive: I know of only 27 instruments clearly from before 1800. They also show remarkable similarities in overall design, construction, size, and detail. Lantern No. 2 bears the nameplate of a retailer, but otherwise they are anonymous, unmarked products. And although there are modest echoes for this design in the contemporary literature, this style of lantern is not illustrated in any of the works that are known to
